Summary

Overly Sarcastic Productions' Red, has a reputation for hating the Heroes of Olympus books. Thankfully, that reputation is misguided since it all stems from one joke in one video. Red's a fan (though offers great critiques) and is here to break down some Leo chapters! Topics include: dodging spoilers, tabula rosa, The Anead, vague titles, inner monologues, sneezing, Heracles, Lae’zel, third person omniscient, 20 Questions, HUDs, Kevin Durant, compartmentalization, Santa, Inside Out, Danny Phantom, traditional values, modern mythological retellings, Aphrodite vs. Venus, Wheel of Fortune, Mii Channel music, fall damage, and more!

I love that job, really Greenberg. Uh, so... So... What's good? Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of The Newst Olympian. My name's Mike Schumer. I'm the titular Newst Olympian. I'm a 32-year-old man who never read the Percy Jackson books as a kid. I read them as an adult because I was determining if it was a book series that society had been sleeping on. I said yes, and now I'm seeing if society's been sleeping on all the other stuff they Rick Ryordan made. And I am on this quest joined by a very special guest because I'm never on this quest alone. I am back with a return guest, someone who I know has a fraught history with the Heroes of Olympus books, so we will get into that.

I'm everywhere. How's it

1:45.0

going, everybody? I'm excited to come back for this one. I really liked going on the Percy Jackson episodes because those books are such a blast from the past for me. I loved rereading them for this. Like, I think it was one of those things where it's like, oh, we're only going to be covering these chapters. That's fine. I'll just reread the book for context.

1:42.4

You know, I was like, oh, I'll press my arm.

1:44.1

I don't jump. Maybe you'll read Bethel of the Labyrinth, chapters. That's fine. I'll just reread the book for context. You know, I was like, oh, I'll twist my arm. I don't jump. Maybe you'll read Bethlehem

2:02.5

too, may as well. Just so fun. And then it was like, hey, do you want to come on? I've gotten the Heroes of Olympus series, you know, the Roman one. And I was like, ha ha. Hmm, sure. And I appreciate it because I did send the email like, hey, if you want to do these chapters.

2:00.2

And you were like, yeah, I'll just reread the book.

2:01.9

Just give me about a week.

2:02.9

And I was like, oh, my God.
